China Urges Dutch Government to Facilitate Nexperia Talks Amid Supply Chain Disruptions
China has called on the Dutch government to encourage Nexperia, a Netherlands-based chipmaker, to send a delegation to China. This request comes amid ongoing tensions between Nexperia and its Chinese parent company, Wingtech, which have led to disruptions in the global automotive supply chain. The conflict began when the Dutch government took control of Nexperia in September, prompting Beijing to halt exports of Nexperia's products, causing chip shortages for automakers worldwide. Although both governments eased their measures last month, legal battles and internal disputes over Nexperia's control persist. China is urging the Netherlands to support negotiations and facilitate Nexperia's participation in talks to resolve these issues.
